There have been some queries regarding the need to report an absence from a Whittlesea U3A course or activity. Tutors put a lot of effort into their classes, and a member should inform them if for any reason they are unable to attend. The Whittlesea U3A Membership Terms and Conditions states that it is the responsibility of a member to do this. You can find this under:
Whittlesea U3A Membership Terms and Conditions state
Clause 10. Due to the popularity of some classes if a member fails to attend three (3) consecutive classes without a valid reason their place may be offered to someone on the waiting list.
Clause 11. If a member is going to be absent for more than three (3) consecutive course times they must notify the course leader or the office to maintain their place in the class coordinator – coordinator@whittleseau3a.org.au
Members are able to report absences online or by calling the office who will assist.
The steps to report an absence online are –
- Login to the membership system
